Sierra Leone’s National Security Coordinator (NSCoord), Abdulai Caulker, issued a stern warning today about planned unlawful protests on January 17th and 18th and pledged to crack down on individuals spreading fake news and hate speech on social media.
Intelligence reports obtained by the Office of National Security (ONS) revealed “miscreants and elements” aiming to disrupt the nation’s peace with these protests, the reasons for which remain unclear. NSCoord Caulker emphasized the government’s commitment to maintaining hard-won stability after decades of turmoil, stating that the ONS “will not take lightly anyone who attempts to derail our peace.”
The announcement also targeted online activities, specifically mentioning those spreading “scurrilous, fake, and damaging stories” about Sierra Leone with the intent to scare away investors and sow division. Caulker warned that the ONS will “use various means at our disposal” to bring these individuals to justice.
Amidst these concerns, the ONS reassured citizens and foreigners to continue their daily lives without fear. They stated their confidence in the security forces’ ability to detect and neutralize any threats across the country. Additionally, they urged the public to rely on information from the Ministry of Information and Civic Education, dismissing “misinformation, fake news, and reports” that could jeopardize national unity.
To facilitate reporting of suspicious activities, the ONS reminded everyone to call the toll-free number 119.
Shit

We hope these press releases should be directed to those misbehaving within government i.e. sacking of over 100 north westerners from parliament without due process, economic hardship, employment based on tribal lineage etc.

Oh God Save our LAND
We will wait and see lawless people as against the law of our mother land
God bless you
But demonstration is a right in any democratic state, l mean a democratic state where the police are serving the nation not politicians.
Yes l know for any demonstration there should be police clearance that will permit the process but in Sierra Leone,even if you apply for police clearance they will not issue it to you.
They keep pushing the people, that’s why the people do go out to demonstrate without police clearance.
I can’t wait to see this protest 😄😄
Don’t fight for somebody who does not care about you, politicians are selfish. Stay home or go out to hustle for your living
Before now, the government used to allow peaceful protest, but at this point in time peaceful protest will later turn into something else. Also my problem with the main opposition, is that the prone to be special from what the present government is doing now. What ever this government is doing now has been done by the past government. My advice for you is that, if you want peace to rain in your entity, do to others what you want them to do to you.
Wae u comot unlawful u go die lawfully ma useless apc idiots
Why the demonstration?
If I may ask
RIP 😭😭😭 to those who want to protests

I thank protest is better than the November 26 saga. But you have to follow the due process of the law. On the other hand, why this government is always against protest. I think allowing people to protest peacefully they will give out their problems then government work on them.
Na God e hand now d lay man den dea ooo
